I think you are relying too heavily on this book and its methods.
The book's thrust is really on where to meet women, priming and seduction dates, and some other data, such as problem babes, etc... It's written for anyone who is failing miserably with women.

The methods may be sound, but you need a foundation to work from.
But, if I'm able to convince a girl to spend time with me, or a girl wants to spend time with me, even in one case driving an hour and a half to meet me, then I must have some 'foundation'.
But you are right, that book doesn't really cover talking with women or goes indepth to flirting with them, but I'd assume their sequel book would provide more 'foundation' for that type of stuff. The book does say to practise flirting with any woman, not just the ones you are attracted to.

I could pick up a book on become a Major League Baseball player and follow all the steps, but I will still fail miserably because I don't have the basic skills to become ML baseball player. I would be better off increasing my athletic ability through exercise than trying to learn the methods used by pro ball players.
This books is written by AFC's for AFCs, as I've read in some reviews. Lots of reviews complain that this book is too basic that it is a waste of money. It's not exactly an 'advanced' book by a long-shot.

Or another example, like reading "How to become a successful CEO". You have to become a CEO first to become a successful CEO.
Ditto.

Your romantic banter won't work if you really have never been romantic before.
But that's a self-limiting statement. Anyway, there is no harm in throwing a few lines into a 30-60 minute meeting. It goes without saying, the MAJORITY of the time, the book doesn't touch it. It's not a scripted and choreographed date like I'm infront of a camera.
The idea here is to do the little things that could make an impression and make it work. Little things like touching her casually five times, winking at her once, making a joke or something to make her laugh for 40 seconds, bringing up romantic conversation somehwere in the date.
The book does not say, have a priming date for 5 minutes, perform some sort of magic trick by saying romantic lines verbatum and then kiss her. You are going to be yourself the majority of the time, or 90% of the time, but you are going to have a set-up where that 10% is going to be scripted, cheoreographed, or your mind is going to be on that 10% to have something goal or agenda, while the other 90% is let-loose and have fun.
Going over that 10% now:
1) Touch her at least five times - when she is going to her seat, touch her arm for a moment when talking, to emphasise a particular point, touch her back when directing her to your table, gesture with your body - when hands are futher from your body touch her.
2) Touch her hand at least once - to emphase some point that's being made, look into her eyes, then take it away.
<logic dictates her hands have to be on the table to be able to touch them. Mirroring - keep my hands on the table, do not put them under the table, she may do the same. That's not in the book.>
3) Look into her eyes too long.
4) Check out her body at least one time, look at it and stare at her to her eyes.
5) Make decisions easily.
6) Wink at her at least once.
7) Ask and manage romantic dialogue.
8) Compliment her three times.
-) if possible, have fun.
As the book also says, if you CAN have fun with your date - forget about everything else and just have fun. If you are not having fun, it goes without saying, go by the book.
This is it - head is going to be on how I'm going to touch her and when, making a few compliments, a wink, or using kino in a cordinated way, now I agree, this part may be a bit hard, but if you are relaxing into the date it should be easier.

Everyone here is giving you good advice and you don't seem to accept it. The way you have presented what you learned from this book does not sound like good advice. If you want help, then you should listen to what the majority of posters here have written. Its not about the book, its what will work for you.
I have to try this book to see if it will work for me. If I dont try it, then I wont know.
